The user-visible change here is that it allows the FFI API to save keys in the database for a context. This is primarily intended for testing purposes as it allows you to get a key without having to generate it. Internally the most important change is to start using the SignedPublicKey and SignedPrivateKey types from rpgp instead of wrapping them into a single Key object. This allows APIs to be specific about which they want instead of having to do runtime checks like .is_public() or so. This means some of the functionality of the Key impl now needs to be a trait. A thid API change is to introduce the KeyPair struct, which binds together the email address, public and private key for a keypair. All these changes result in a bunch of cleanups, though more more should be done to completely replace the Key type with the SignedPublicKye/SignedPrivateKey + traits. But this change is large enough already. Testing-wise this adds two new keys which can be loaded from disk and and avoids a few more key-generating tests. The encrypt/decrypt tests are moved from the stress tests into the pgp tests and split up.

Development
# run tests
$ cargo test --all
# build c-ffi
$ cargo build -p deltachat_ffi --release
Debugging environment variables
-
DCC_IMAP_DEBUG: if set IMAP protocol commands and responses will be printed -
DCC_MIME_DEBUG: if set outgoing and incoming message will be printed
Expensive tests
Some tests are expensive and marked with #[ignore], to run these
use the --ignored argument to the test binary (not to cargo itself):
$ cargo test -- --ignored
